Blue urbanism and economy: A strategy for the future of Brunei
Purpose Climate change is likely to recreate a “blue” environment in key areas of Brunei as a consequence of sea level rise and higher rainfall. This paper will present the case for why adopting blue urbanism and economy (BUE) is the logical and most viable strategy for Brunei if it were to achieve its sustainable development objectives. Design/methodology/approach The study employs (1) systems analysis and (2) existing knowledge on Brunei to sho…
Administering and encountering the poor: Poverty from above and below in Brunei Darussalam
In this paper we argue that there is a ‘missing middle’ between policies to ameliorate poverty of those in need and the experience of poverty. Drawing on interviews with respondent poor(er) households in Brunei's ‘water village’ of Kampong Ayer and with officials and local leaders, the paper details a complex and well‐funded system of support for those in need. It then shows how this impressive architecture of welfare does not always meet the nee…
The Malays of Brunei: An investigation of their family language policies
Studies on Brunei Malay have made inconsistent findings: while some have asserted that this variety is thriving and is in no way endangered, others have found that its use is now waning. As the dynamics of family speech can inform what is happening linguistically at the community level, this study seeks to investigate the family language policies of the Brunei Malays by assessing parents’ language ideologies, practices and management strategies. …

The new ecotourists of the 21st century: Brunei as a case study
Literature often describes the archetypical ecotourists as well-educated, and financially secure, coming from the “Western” Baby Boomer with strong convictions on the need for the conservation of nature and indigenous cultures. Today, traveling is made affordable for the mass coming from diverse nationalities, particularly of the younger generation, who are eager to experience disappearing cultures and nature. Although they appear to share traits…

Defining the characteristics of poverty and their implications for poverty analysis
Literature on the characteristics or underlying qualities of the concept of poverty is extensive but fragmented and rarely discusses the influence of these characteristics on poverty analysis. This paper examines the characteristics of poverty and their implications for poverty analysis. It primarily made use of secondary data together with some primary data. Findings are that poverty characteristically has a language and is multidimensional, com…
Understanding Quality of Life in Brunei Darussalam
Brunei Darussalam (hereafter Brunei) aspires to be one of the countries in the world with the highest Quality of Life by 2035. However, there is a dearth of studies on the meaning of Quality of Life and characteristics of a high Quality of Life in Brunei. This study examined the conceptualisation of Quality of Life by the Government of Brunei and descriptions of a high Quality of Life within the country. It also analysed the constructs that infor…
Xenophobia in the GCC countries: Migrants' desire and distress
Xenophobia has not received sufficient attention although anti-migrant sentiments and practices have been on the rise in receiving countries. This study attempts to inset xenophobia in the migration debate by examining the growth of this phenomenon in host countries in the GCC. It provides short accounts of xenophobia experienced by migrants. We argue that the maltreatment the migrants are subjected to is largely due to xenophobic than merely pro…
Perceptions of the Language and Meaning of Poverty in Brunei Darussalam
Despite the proliferation of poverty studies, poverty in Brunei Darussalam (hereafter, Brunei) is under-researched. What poverty means in Brunei is, therefore, little understood, and there is a local belief that poverty in the country is unique and relative. Moreover, the terms 'poverty' ( kemiskinan) and 'poor' ( miskin) are somewhat sensitive in Brunei, but the reason(s) for this sentiment and preferred terms are not known. This study examines …

Some of the chapters in this book are extende…
